Background and approach

That can mean building better communication, setting boundaries, or finding new ways to cope when life gets hard. She also helps people recover self-esteem after painful events and rebuild trust in themselves. Karla has worked with a wide range of concerns, including substance use, domestic challenges, blended family issues, and caregiver stress.

She brings two decades of experience to sessions and draws on methods that focus on goals and real-world steps. Sessions often include skill practice, problem solving, and planning for change. Her work is attentive to the effects of discrimination and cultural stressors on daily life.

She aims to create a calm space where practical options can be tried and adjusted. People leave with specific tools to handle impulses, manage cravings, or repair communication patterns. Karla practices in Oklahoma and holds licensure in Kansas and Oklahoma.

She communicates in English and offers online formats to fit different schedules. The overall goal is to make steady, manageable progress toward clearer relationships and more dependable coping.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for coping with addiction, relationship pain, or major life changes by focusing on action rather than just thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for impulse control, mood shifts, and improving communication. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s goals guide the work; this approach supports rebuilding self-esteem and exploring relationship needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting plans so the work stays relevant and doable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow deeper face-to-face work and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat fit quick check-ins or brief support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent, fit sessions into busy schedules, and practice new skills in real time.
